Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Cut 2 lbs sirloin steak into 1 inch cubes and place in a large bowl. Season with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Toss well and let sit for 15 to 20 minutes for deeper flavor.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and melt 2 tablespoons butter. Sear the steak cubes in batches for 1 to 2 minutes per side until browned. Do not overcrowd the pan. Transfer to the slow cooker.
- In the same skillet, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add 1 sliced onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until softened. Stir in 4 minced garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds.
- In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup beef broth and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Pour over the steak in the slow cooker. Add the onion and garlic mixture on top.
- Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours until steak is fork tender. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking.
- Stir gently before serving and garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley. For a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and add during the last 30 minutes.
Notes
- Sirloin works best for tender results without excess fat.
- Let the steak rest with seasoning before searing for deeper flavor.
- Do not skip browning for the richest taste.
- Add a cornstarch slurry if you prefer thicker gravy.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
